The Folly of Preemptive War in Asia

GWB should have begun his reading with the UN Charter and the US Constitution, both of which prohibit our country from waging a preemptive war. Only the Congress can declare war and authorize funds for it.
There is no cure for greed and hate. If these emotions make war a necessary evil, then we must prepare for perpetual conflict. This is the creed of the military/industrial complex, which has ruled the USA since the 1950’s.
To me moderate Islamists accept our bribes and do not make threats against us while the radicals behave in the opposite manner. This can change in a minute because most Muslim nations are tribal and despotic. For this reason human rights is a foreign concept like democracy a tool for the colonialists.
The Muslims prefer the rule of a vile domestic tyrant over a benign foreign one.Typically, Asia absorbs invaders eventually becoming undifferentiated from the natives. Land war in Asia is complete folly for westerners.
